Iranian Nobel laureate questions calls to evacuate Tehran, calls for an end to war

Iranian Nobel Peace laureate Narges Mohammadi questioned calls to evacuate Tehran following warnings from the Israeli military and US President Donald Trump urging citizens to leave the capital amid escalating conflict between Iran and Israel.

“What does ‘Evacuate Tehran’ even mean?” Mohammadi wrote on X.

She highlighted that Tehran is home to 10 million people, including hospitals, schools, and factories. “Which of them are we meant to carry on our shoulders to save from death and devastation?” she added.

“Do not destroy my city. End this war,” Mohammadi said.
